Why Virtual Winter? Why the praise for cold weather?
It’s much easier to fashion the perfect dish or the ideal meal from local, in-season produce when your climate offers a generous bounty year-round. But it takes true genius to create good food when the earth only provides for a few short months. Beyond praising those who overcome these practical, physical hurdles to create amazing tastes, Anne believes in celebrating the whole experience of food and thinks some of our best experiences come from cold weather: hot chocolate after sledding, fondue by the fire with friends, a rich chicken pot pie that heats the whole house as it bakes. Not to mention all the amazing desserts and puddings that fall and winter bring us – from sweet baked apples to rich chocolate creations.
